No I don't work for them :)
Works out of the box in newest ubuntu. It has optical out (ie it is a
DAC), but I have yet to really test that (if someone has this device
and has optical working, let me know). The volume control on the unit
controls the master volume in gnome. Sound quality is great, and no
electrical interference from the motherboard (I have been trying to
get rid of buzzing from crappy onboard sound card).
Anyways, always looking for good linux-ready devices. Post 'em if you
know of something good out there.
M-Audio Fast Track Pro works out of box in (at least) any linux kernel
>= 2.6.2x.
I've used it for many tasks, including official streaming for past
Debian Conferences (DebConf).
